Research that ships.
We turn hard questions into working prototypes, then into battle-tested systems.
Measured impact, published quarterly.
Methodology available for every delta.
Mission
Research and develop technologies with real‑world applicability that deliver measurable impact and improve how people work.
Application research
Use existing tech in disciplined ways to deliver value — for example, applying edge LLMs to privacy‑sensitive workflows with proper evaluation harnesses.
Invention research
Create missing primitives when a gap is proven — frameworks, micro‑models, protocols, or services that fill institutional needs.
Our Method
Systematic approach from problem selection to field trials with clear exit criteria at every stage.
Problem selection
Institutionally relevant, safety‑critical or continuity‑critical with measurable outcomes.
Standards review
Map to regulations, standards, and prior art.
Discovery sprints
Fast prototyping with exit criteria; publish RFCs.
Evaluation
Regression gates, benchmarks, human‑in‑the‑loop tests, ethics review.
Field trials
Limited pilots with evidence capture; iterate or archive.
TRL Maturity & Evidence
